RUSA LGBT, a Russian-American gay rights group, is urging a boycott of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. But the Russian LGBT Network says opponents of Russia’s anti-gay crackdown should go to Sochi and protest there rather than boycotting.

If people want to boycott in response to Russia’s anti-LGBT crackdown, one other possibility is to boycott corporate sponsors of the Sochi Winter Olympics, unless the companies take strong positions in favor of human rights for all in Russia, especially at the Olympics.
